Historical or Biographical Note

Maggie Baylis was a noted San Francisco landscape architect from the 1940s to 1971. After her husband's death, she began writing
and illustrating several books on gardening and landscaping, including
House Plants for the Purple Thumb (1973) and appeared on radio and television. She died on December 10, 1997.

The shot was taken out of a window in war time by Maggie Baylis from Alta Street (originally this was documented as taken
from Gerke Alley) on Telegraph Hill. At the time, Ms. Baylis was experimenting with photography and trying for a certain affect
when she took the photograph.
